Hi.

Angelsue is spot on. Cymbalta is an antidepressant, which works well against diabetic or any other neuropathic pain. The dose range starts from 20mg.

What is more important , however, is that you control the blood sugar levels and take regular medicines. How are the levels now ?

Regards

I have had neuropathy for quite some time.  I've been a diabetic (type II) since '95 and my doctor has put me Cymbalta for neuropathy pain.  It's a capsule and comes in 60 mg.
It is also prescribed for people w/anxiety, but it seems to help me.  Good Luck!
